Fairyhouse off, Punchestown to inspect The meeting scheduled for Fairyhouse on Wednesday has been cancelled, while Punchestown will inspect at 8am on Tuesday to see if their rescheduled meeting can go ahead. The IHRB tweeted on Monday afternoon : "After 5mm of rain & heavy snow showers since 8am at Fairyhouse, and with further heavy rain & snow forecast, the fixture on Wednesday has been cancelled. "Due to an inclement weather forecast there will be an 8am inspection at Punchestown on Tuesday morning. The track is currently raceable, with the ground described as heavy." In the UK, Plumpton went ahead today, but jumps meetings at Ayr and Lingfield on Tuesday, and Wetherby on Wednesday, have been lost to the weather. Exeter’s Sunday meeting has been rearranged to take place next weekend — seven days after Storm Ciara forced it to be abandoned. Prominent trainers called for the card to be saved — given the good prize money and standard of races on offer — and the whole card, rather than just specific races, will still take place. Entries will close at 12 noon on Tuesday, with declarations required by Friday as normal.
